98% of psychology uses intuition to describe,and analyze human behavior,anecdotal evidence might be dna studies,,,inconclusive,,,,societal factors,ditto,,,,,biological factors,such as sensitivity to foods,chemicals as these often bear on topics such as l/d,add/hd,anti social tendencies,if these professions understood drug addiction,they’d have vaccines

Answer by Suzy Cutes
Both, actually, and any conclusion drawn on the subject is going to have its exceptions. That said, I lean toward inherited, or at least something within the physiological and not the sociological make up of the person.    Read more...

In the middle of the night, my fiance turned over and said and i quote, “yeah just for some heroin, man!” and i looked at him and said, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? and he quickly jumped to the defense and told me it was nothing, and went back to sleep. he has a history of drugs, and i’m the only thing stopping him from it because he knows he will lose me. was it just a dream? or is he thinking about it? should i be worried or upset with him?

Question by sunshine31: Waht do you think of 20mg paxil 2x daily?
Does it work effectively for depression? The drug seems to be working for me.

Answer by Sezbot
Hey!! If it is working for you then i’d say stick with it. Different depression medications affect different neurotransmitters in the brain. Paxil is just one of several different antidepressants, personally i’m on zoloft and lithium. Paxil is obviously working very well for you. If you feel good then you should need to have your dosage altered or your medication changed. Different drugs affect different people in different ways so if this is working for you then don’t worry about what everyone else is on. You’ve found something that works and thats the main thing. I hope you feel better soon!! Good luck!! =)    Read more...

Question by Rain: Why do we say “cold turkey” when someone stops smoking all at once?
What is the origin of the expression “cold turkey”?

Best answer:

Answer by Knights_Who_Say_Ni
“Cold turkey” is a slang expression describing the actions of a person who gives up a habit or addiction right away, at a single moment, rather than gradually (easing the process through tapering off or supplemental medication). The term allegedly derives from the comparison of a cold turkey carcass and the state of a withdrawing addict — most notably, the cold sweats and goose bumps. It is often preceded by the verb ‘to go’, as ‘going cold turkey’.
